So the alternative is to stop providing medical health care assistance to anyone that otherwise could afford health insurance.

If you risk going without health insurance you risk not receiving health care (unless you have 6-7 million in the bank for some cancer treatments).

So you break your leg in three places, we look at you tax returns for the past two years (typical preexisting condition waiting period) and if your income shows that you could have purchased health insurance instead of the new Silverado 2500, you learn to walk with a crooked leg.

Best part is the waiting time in the ER and my Dr.s office will be significantly decreased, health care cost will go down because of less demand and slowly but surely the public assistance roles will go down thrugh attrition.
